The local housing program on Saint Fons

When you look at the proportion of social housing in various municipalities of Greater Lyon, one is immediately struck by the disproportion of one city to another. The percentage of social housing varies from 0.34% to Collonges au Mont d'Or, over 50% for cities such as St. Fons, and Vénissieux Vaulx-en-Velin.

The law imposes Theoretically, a minimum of 20% social housing. This percentage is exceeded only in 17 of the 57 municipalities that make up the Greater Lyon. Among others, 9 have less than 5% of social housing.

This is obviously not a coincidence. It is a choice made by the Commons not to drive the construction of housing or do as little as possible. For who said housing, said people in need. They are in less tax revenue and additional social needs also to satisfy. That's a funny way of showing its solidarity.

From this point of view, Saint Fons, can boast a high percentage of social housing: 55%. This shows in fact and not just in words, here the solidarity is not an empty word. Of course this means in terms of budgetary constraints.

The communes are facing the same need for infrastructure and utilities that richer municipalities of similar size. But they have lower revenues and needs help to the poorest most important. Under these conditions the differences and inequalities can only widen, and this is perfectly abnormal.

But as I think there are not enough social housing in many municipalities, as I say there are not too many in Saint Fons. This number of social housing is a reality, to real needs, which are also far from satisfied. The number of families forced to rent private housing in unhealthy and unfit is a reality.

Moreover, there has for years now, a real inflation on rents. It Moreover, this rental inflation has pushed many people, those whose incomes allowed it to become homeowners. But today, many of these owners are also in difficulties due to rising unemployment, stagnant incomes.

To conclude, I would say that force people to reduce poverty, by dint of despair, we end up pushing them to revolt, and the news of recent weeks in Tunisia for example, is proof.
